This versatile power station is part of the brand’s “camping series,” but it works equally well at home in a pinch—it can power up a fridge for 14 hours and a CPAP for over 18 hours. (If you want a longterm whole-home power, solution you’ll want to upgrade to the F3800 Plus, mentioned in this CNET roundup.) According to this "Mashable Choice" review, it has plenty of charging ports and 1,056Wh capacity, and recharges quickly via grid power, solar, or your car, going from 0 to 80% in under 45 minutes on a wall outlet. It’s also easy to monitor and manage with Anker’s companion app. 

At  28.4 pounds, it’s lightweight given the power it delivers, and has a durable exterior. Its built-in LED light strip keeps things visible when the lights go out during a power outage. The USB-C power output maxes out at 100W, and it only supports one expansion battery, for 2,112Wh total. While it’s designed for camping, it’s also reliable for home use, powering up a fridge for 14 hours and a CPAP for over 18 hours.

 If you’re looking for a portable power station with a wide range of features, high capacity, quick recharging, and multiple port options, the Anker Solix C1000 Portable Power Station is a small powerhouse that offers excellent value, especially at 53% off during Prime Day.
